Rule Clarifications and MOD Updates

We have been consolidating and reviewing a lot of feedback on various rules we have, and are happy to announce that all of the updated rules have been released.

1. The Terms of Service no longer forbids breasts, but instead focuses entirely on nipple exposure. Breasts are now allowed on Painties as well as artwork posted on Furvilla provided they follow the nipple rule. We feel this best represents a SFW environment while also not implying sexualization of people with that body shape.

2. The Terms of Service clarify our position on game asset trading with other browser games. The short answer is, we are fine with trading, however, we would like you to wait until the game is out of beta before doing so.

3. The Code of Conduct now indicates that CSS should not be used to cover or alter game stat information, including hiding or altering your or your villager's stats, or replacing your villager's image with CSS.

4. Our Forum Rules have now been updated to indicate that the phrase 'illegal drugs' refers to United States federal law, as there are discrepancies between the laws of different countries regarding what is an illegal drug, as well as individual states within the US.

5. Finally, after taking in all feedback with Painties and speaking with our Paintie moderators, we have completely revamped the Painties rule page in a way we hope clarifies everything regarding Paintie rules. We have been struggling with the inventive ways that players are creating some Painties, but unfortunately some are created in ways we did not intend for our bases to be used. We hope that this guide clarifies what we consider permissible for the use of our bases and helps clear confusion.

That now covers all the rules that have been changed thanks to your feedback. We also wanted to let you know that moderator applications are now closed. We received over a thousand applications and have hired our team. We do not yet have an ETA on releasing the forums as the moderators are occupied with ironing out issues with Painties. We will provide you an update when we have an idea of when the forums will be ready to re-release.

Last, here are a list of changes that have been implemented since Monday, the majority of them from suggestions e-mailed to us:
- grayed out Change Career button when idle
- destroy unwanted recipes from career page
- removed white gradient on long Private Messages
- Transfer Currency / Transfer Item on user page
- horizontal scrollbar appear in the message box when needed
- view all recipes/their reagents for reference: searching items in the museum now provides a list of reagents (for recipes), or a link to the recipe that crafts the item, or links to all recipes that use the item
- placed a button in the blacksmith career page that straight away takes you to repair requests
- Villagers page indicates which villagers are sick and with what
- item pages now include links to NPC shops if the item stocks there
- Paintie Removal button to strip a Paintie from a villager at the user's request
- the following items can now be used from the inventory on villagers who are not the active villager: medicines, pets, recipes, costumes, species potions, hp potions

    • To everyone complaining about how this'll make a species less "rare", it took me under 8hrs to get all the mats for a WB pot. There is nothing rare about the WB or DAD pots.


    • Thanks for the update! (:


    • Except me having a set of DAD wings on a horse doesn't mean I actually have a DAD. It doesn't mean I worked for it. Everyone's aware of that. I wouldn't care if I bought a DAD potion and saw someone splicing DAD parts onto their paintie.

      If I add a dog tail onto a cat base, it's still a cat. If I add a DAD wing onto a horse base, it's still a horse. This isn't rocket science.


    • @MOD-Poltergeist

      I just finished my profile, but this clarified that I still need to change stuff back, oh well, although, can I ask why the town shield logo has to be there when your town is represented by the logo next to your username?

      also i hope we are allowed to edit the logo of the page into different colors to the fit the general design

      also the side bar on the right MUST be on the user profile too and not only on the villager ones, right? Just to clarify if I need to edit that in


    • *pinches bridge of nose*
      you mods seem to have your minds scattered all over the place. one says you wish to respect the species yet another says that it doesn't matter if you break the species rules there for disrespecting the species. don't get me wrong this game is fun buy...things seem a bit...backwards here and there...


    • Spiritburn

      My villager sidebar is still in the correct order (From first created to last created)
      I wasn't aware there was an update to it. I had to rearrange my villagers on the villagers page, but the sidebar is fine.


    • Aye glad to see you're all hard at work. Appreciate the changes made in this update!


    • kstormgemini but it wouldn't be the same thing, adding a part of something doesn't make it that thing. Having Dutch Angel Dragons on your palomino doesn't make it a Dutch Angel. It makes it a Palomino with wings.


    • @MOD-Poltergeist Alright. Thanks for the help.


    • i'm glad to see an update on the paintie rules!
